After several months of rigorous preparation, they were ready to ascend the lofty peak. One of those men was a 24-year-old photo-journalist who had quit working for the Calgary Herald because he letdowns and sheer hard work it took him to complete his eight-year project.

(AP) — Film crews looking for snow as a backdrop for a Steve Martin-John Candy movie found too much of it in the Buffalo area, which Martin described as “blistering cold.” The conditions this week were an abrupt turnabout from the mild weather of the last month that forced the movie company to move to Chicago, St. Louis, Batavia, and finally Buffalo. Wind-whipped snow cov ered an expressway south of Buffalo, just-as the producers of Airplanes, Trains and Automobiles wanted, but the blowing snow caused near zero visibility and delayed shooting. . In the movie, Martin and Candy try to reach Chicago for Thanksgiving after their airline plans are disrupted by bad weather. This Week in DEXTER’S PUB — MON.

In the discussion paper, the commission notes that any changes “may well affect consumption (of alcohol).” Among the other effects, privatization “could lead to a shift in employment. The most apparent change would be in distribution and re- tailing, with a shift in em- ployment from the public to the private sector.” It says privatization could also affect the price of liquor depending on the degree of competition allowed among private sector retailers.
